JOHFSMITU FARMER. frt

Nowfly avery aquare mile of tho U, 8. A. contain^ w Jolmflti^tb; yotitnwwt him "twice in w wbili!" everywhere you go. John Smith bwa been a clergy* man, w thief, w ioloon-keeper, w tern* peranoa wdtoewte, wnd in fact at eYcfar employment {rood wud bAtl Jolju 8inilh hM tried hia hand. L

But the one of whlob f am about to write waa John Smith, farmer. He owned as nice a "hundred acre" fai*m ww any W.an in waatern New York. Everything about hit ri indicated neat-uetA energy and proeperity. and still hi was nobpdy but John Smith, amoa^ enterpriiiug and well-to-do farmt^u who had his farm paid for; pwed 1.0 man a cent, and had some money kit Lof the room, and the gehtleinan who 1 interest atid in the bank, and had whiat he prised the most, the respect of bis neighbor* tie ww* thirty-five ye*ww of age, and for some unaccountable, rodaon he was unmarried. His liouaa-' keepert a widowed aunt of sinty, when qucitioned about it, would shake*'her head and say: ,

"Something wroiig with John. { Be ought to have good wife. I d<* riot kn*w what will become of him whin Idle,",

The fall work of 1881 was done. John Smith was one who would %%6t allow hia neighbor to do better than he. One evening John was sitting by the kitchen atom -thinking his think/* when his aunt addressed him swmw-whnt abrubtly, as fiollows:

*John," * / v i / ••Wall, autit" s -•*I want you to gb to New Tdrk.*1

\ "What the dickwns rt

•*No, sir; !• want you to go to New York, and there is no 'dickens' abotit i t " V ' | ' . . : . • '•• . , ,

"Wlmtfor^ . \ / ' MTo s^ejtlie ^ity. It will just do you

good to get off this fatm.~ No, sir; you tyred not swy you cannot afford it."

"I did not say anything of the kind." "You thought it, all the same."

r , ( N o , I did hot, auntn

"Well, will you go? that's the ques­tion fof you to anawer."

"Seoihg Uiat you wialf me to, aunt, and seeing that I've been hankering to nee that big city, I believe I wilt.

And so it came about Uiuf eai*ly one frosty November morning John Smith found liimaelf walking along Brood-way Au' the metropolis, He hardly know which way to go, but concluded that inMmuch as tho streets were not crowded, he would move along slowly and see the sights.

"Shine, sir— shine yer boots ferhalf a dime," shoutod a boy near him. <

John Smith looked down at his own boots, and saw that they needed the application of the brush and aomd blacking.,

"Shine, sir-half a ajrae/' said the boy.

"I don't care if I do, my lad/** said Jwiiti Smith. Instantly the boy went down upon his knees, drew forth the brush and box of blacking from the wooden box which he carried, t\nd at work be went in good earnest Our friend Smith noticed that the boy was barefoot.

"What do they call you, my Iwdf jakl tbw farmer, drawing back his left foot and putting out his right, wo that the bov oould-hlaek the other boot s "Ted/' answered the boy: "my name (s Everett/*

"What makes you go barefoot!" "I cannot afford, to buy me any

shoes, sir; I hope I shall earn enough to buy some soon.* ' f

-Father drink?"said Smith, bluntly; r'My father is dead; be did not drink.

My mother is dead, top/* said the boy, tears starting in his eyes,

'That's too bad," said Smith: 1 Tour boots are done," said the boy

putting back hfe brush and blacking into the wooden box. , •

"And here's your money,** Said Smith, handing him a dime.. v

"I cannot change it, sir,? said the boy, looking at the money.

"Keep it, then/' said the farmer. "I guess you have ewrned it/*

Just' then a policeman^ a great burly fellow,* came suddenly up to them, and seising the little bootblack by his ragged coat, exclaimed:

"I've got you now, yon little rosea). Cheat a man, will'yel 111 show ye, yer dirty vagabond!

The policeman, as he Spoke, shook poor Ted unmercifully; then he drew his club, raised it, struck the boy one blow, which felled him to the ground, raising the club again to deal the poor little fellow another blow, which would have been much heavier thaji the first This was more than John Smith, the farmer, could stand. Spring­ing torward^hw delivered a well-direct­ed blow straight from the shoulder, right between the brute's eyes, and the brutal, cowardly policeman lay upon the side-walk insensible.

He did not notice that a well-drwwtwd man stood near. Neither did he notice another burly policeman ecmiag

down and picked tip the poor boot­black who had been so cruelly used,

"Don't cry, Teddy/' hwsaid; "it will soon bo all right/*

Just then a hand waaT placed upon the £ermer*s shoulder. ' He turned and faced the other policeman, who said:

44Sir, you are my prisoners; you and that ragamuffin/' •

"Ail right,'' said John Smith, "lend the way, the boy and I will follow. Take that vagabond of an officer along that would have killed this boy/v

"I'll oome, and don/r you forget it," said the brute, raising up and rub-bing the sore spot which had been in oontact with the farmers fist. The four went to the police station, follow­ed by the gentleman who had stood by and seen the fray. The officer en­tered hi* complaint, then our friend the termer, frascalled up.. .j

"What's your name and 'obonptr'

*4John Smith, farmer.* "You are charged with assaulting

an officer, are you guilty, op not guilty?" asked the justice. ,. . "If knocking an officer down to pre-

vdht his clubbing that boy to death, means guilty, then I'm guilty; other­wise, not Therefore I sbal} plead not .guilty." ** », •..* <i . < \\

John feiteated the statement > ; %4Tell your story; we will see about

He caught a ten pound pickerel that was so poor he would not keep it, and he threw it back in the lake. * If tho pick­erel bad been In good condition it would have weighed twenty pounds. The pickerel, lirhen released, went back under tlya stump in a hurry, as though it had an engagement, and the fisher­man, who; is one of our most reliable citizens, said he took a glows and look-

"Alderman Donnet, ore you a Hess in this matter!" t •#

"Qht t tun So glad! then sister can thank you." f * ; K r : ^

They went along together—the stout, Well-dressed man, and the pale, sickly-looking, ragged boy. .They went where the poorest people In New York city lived, in the narrow lanes and among the tenement houses. :

"Here's the place, said the t lad as they stood just in front of agftat high, dilapidated building, which seemed to be a beehive of poverty..

"Where?.' asked the farmer. "Up here."

stair*. John Smith followed—up one flight, then another, soon, until they came to a narrow hall. The boy ran along this until he come to the lost door. He waited a moment for his new frond, then he opened the door. There by a table sat a woman sewing; the room was clean, a few ornaments were oh the wall, such as a woman who had to work hard would make. The lady by the table was pale; tears were chasing each other down her cheeks, almost blinding her eyes, so that it retarded her work.

"Here, Jennie, is a friend/4 said the boy, stepping in, followed by the farmer. - : | /

The lady rose up to welcome the stranger; she looked at the farmer, the farmer at her. They recognised each other..-. . w - . v r •"••• 'j- '•.•-.. •••••••«. :- •. *

"Jane!" ! "John!" >.i. U v \ ' jX- •• That wis all they said; they were

instantly folded in each* other's arms, and the boy Ted stood by and wonder-

if his new found friend and sister ad suddenly beoomW insane. After a little tbey seated themselves de by sid4 j '

John/' she mid, "when'did you comrwnd how did you find me?"

He told his story, of bow, when she moved awav from Connecticut, where they both lived %when children—he went to the west then he came baQk as far as New York state, snttled down with his aunt and prospered; of^kow his aunt, who was somewhat eocentric, advised him to visit the grea^ity; of his coming, of his finding Ted, and his encounter with the policeman, /af his arrest and how it was turning oat the beet of any arrest that he had ever heard of. . ; * *

She then told her story; bow tbey came to Now York and became poor; that her father and mother died, leav­ing her with Teddy, who was then very small; but by sewing she had sup­ported him; that tbe boy was helping some by blacking boots, but tshw was having a hard time.. It was a long, pitiful story of hardships and poverty,

"Well, June/' said John Smith, farmer, "I'm glad I came to this big plaoo, Sean to breakfast «?aner , "No, John.; we have got to earn oar breakfast before we can eat it" .

•Thrc ' Sown your needle, Jane, and donl tvwr pick it up again/* said

A gentlemAn wbo bws just come back from a fishing excursion to one of the inland lakw^and who is die* gusted witli the Jfct that souse of

vention of flah, of different varieties, seeming to be arguing somf questions of importance* They Wire all thin and hollow eyed, and looked desperate. The man took another glass, (he does not say what kind of a ghup, or what was in it,) and listened to tbe proceed­ings. A hungry looking catfish was in the chair, and he opened the meet­ing abotit as follows: f,

4 'Fin-Low CmzRKS. —Yod are doubt­less aware of the objects of this meet-

thisJUw^ b u t f°r 'ear some of you from, up the creek may not be posted* I will say that the meeting is called! to Qevise some means to indupe the state fish commissioners to renewed efforts to proogate tbe finer varieties of fish. What we need is to have young sal­mon, white fish and brook trout placed in these waters at regular inter­vals. As it is now the fish commis­sioners, once or twice a year, cause the fry to be placed in this lake, and tbw consequence U that we all go in and gorge ourselves by eating them up, and then we go hungry for six months. What we wantis to have some system about this thing. A*f |kh that hashing and Inapiring and shaping anything to offer on tho subject can now have the floor.". , , '••. . '

The fl^b all looked at the pickerel that had just been released frqm therj boat, and which was ltuily chewing on a piece of w boot leg cm the bottom of the lake.

He presumed the jFlsfafat Oconomowoc, where he learned Antisdel had a hotel, and at Oshkosh, where Jim Jones lived, had all the salmon fry they wanted, but tbe rest of us were starv­ing. He proposed that a committee be appointed to wait on Governor Busk and represent tbe ease to him, and re* quest that the fry be emptied into the lake on the first of each month, and that notice be given to the fish, through the official state paper, at what points the fry would be distribut­ed. He knew that being the mover of the resolution, parliamentary uaa?* would place him on the committee, but he didnt feel able tw go to Madi­son, that a. sucker, a bill fish and a bull head be sucb committee. The pickerel sat down and resumed hia luncheon on the boot ley* ..

The sucker, who Vaa trying to suck some nourishment out of an old whale­bone corset that bad betn thrown out from a summer hotel because it was getting too small, said that he went to Madison onoe, when the b»ll for ap­propriating money to cultivate fish was up before the legislature, and he got s^ drunk that it took htm six weeks to gdt over it ^nd if he knew his own heart and he thought he did, he would not fo again until tbe state waw under a prohibition administration.

The American tiewspaper ira power in this nineteenth century of no or­dinary character. Willi all its weak* items and imperfections\t is on un­measured Messing. It bears a vitally close connection with the march of civilkationi for it is not only the rec­ord of the day's doings, but a sharp running commentary upon them which has more or less controlling in­fluence determining the line of march.

Tbe newspaper-the living, progres­sive newspaper—ha* a most definite and positive relation to the life wf the centuries. It is humanity in the con­crete. ' It hwwall the foibles, all the wtekneswea. all the ertoro, all thw sins of mankind: It is a mirror reflecting society.. Hence the true history of a country ia to be found in the' news­papers. There'its daily life is recorded and tho springs of its movement re­vealed. • i .••- ,••-.•-. v - .*'•

The first newspaper published in this country was issued in Boston,Bep., 16^and was called Public Occurtnee*r and rived just one day. It waa so out­spoken the magistrates suppressed it j(n 1776 there were but thirty-sevin newspapers in the colonies, and their combined weekly circulation did not exceed 4,000 copies. In* 1876, one cen­tury later, there weft 6,793 published in the United Stat**, of which 724 were dotliss and 5,860 weeklies, with an aggregate sale of over 2,000,000,000 copies! ~j .,;•... ,> . , '.; r

I think II woe Jefferson who said: "I would rather live in a country with i newspapers and without/it government than in a country with a government but without newspapers." From tbe statistics given above it ia easy to sew that we are a land of newspapers, and that these newspapers aiy taken and read, and that they reflect the nation­al life well, aqd exert* also their' influ­ence upon the 50,000,000 of our popu­lation. ; ' .

I do not altogether join in those ex­travagant eulogies'of the newspaper that many indulge; I do not believe for a moment that the newspaper is going to supersede the pulpit, and chat the eloquence of the future U to be editorial; I do not believe it is going to: take the place of tbe book ortaaga-sine; but I do believe it is going to serve the great mass of mankind and render them a most invaluable service. It is w mighty educator and is capable of almost endless poaaibiliti*» in uplift-

the thoughts and plans and actions of this million-peopled continent The news' paper baa been wisely conservative and has held tenaciously to that which was good in the past; it has been bravely progressive and has moved forward with faith in the right; it has been liberal and welcomed as a competitor or supporter or all factors that would help solve, the great pending questions in the struggle of the human race.

The newspaper comes to us to be read, and it is no idle question, how shall we read it? To read it wisely is an art—an art to be learned. Not every person has learned it The news­paper comes to us bearing reports of current events. We want to know these, aad for this reason and no other we buy it and read it But nwtall that it contains xlo we care for. It mirrors the events of the world, good, bad and indifferent. It record*disgust­ing accidents and tragic murders in detail; It gives full reports of murder trials, walking matches, pugilistic en­counters, police and criminal news, all this and more of a lower level. Tbe newspaper is made up for all classes of readers, and I suppose must in a cer­tain sense cater to the tastes of its 10,-000 readers. But all this does not need to be turned into our minds as if they weaw/a common sewer. We ought to read for information, and sucb infor­mation is not. always wise. We want to know what is go­ing on in England and Ireland— how Gladstone and Purnell get on; what France and Qambetta are doing; what Egypt is going to do in her prr> sent situation, and what is to come of Arabi. and so from the telegraphic re­ports of the whole world gather items of knowledge as to the present status of nations and governmenttt The young man of to-day ought to be cosmopoli­tan in his knowledge. While he lives this side the At Ian tic, let hia sympathies broaden over all lands and touch fjfl peoples, know their burdens and Ap­preciate their struggles fcp* liberty. The newspaper will give him daily the world's quota of in formation. Th$n to know tbe workings of other states and cites than his own; other business and parties and sects than his own; to do this regularly and of set purpose will prove of great value and will help to educate. ,

The reading must not be vague and aimless; it must be after a thoughtful

of a daily for a week or month. I had thought to give a digest of the. copy of

j the Troy Daily Times ^M an illustra­tion of the wide and varied range of iti gleanings, but my space is too Jingled and tbe average readers attention too occupied—"politics is pressing**! * Let me offer a few suggestion* as to news­paper reading; ,

1, Do not allow newspapers to be your only reading. They are good in their place, but they do not fill all the places. They are fragmentary and partisan, and their devotee partakes of the same spirit An half hour w day, or even less, is enough tyr ordinary newspaper reading. ; j

2, Bead the very best newspapers. Our family paper ought to be right in principle, noble in spirit and pare in language. As you would not permit a vile companion in your house, as you do pot enjoy low and slangy phrases before your children or for yourself, give* a wide berth to a news­paper that partakes of this character. Not every book is valuable or worthy of being read, nor is every paper* nor is all that isln thw paper.

*S. * Therefore, learn to chobse what is valuable and skip the rest The art of skipping is an art that ought thor­oughly to be learned. There is much in every poper we do not care for. Emphatically is this true to-day in tbw midst of this shower of political mud! We read for information; so let us road wisely and skip judiciously, and thua save time to turn to the best books of the ages and glean their pages of its records of wisdom.—Troy Tims*.

' The principal call now is for the fur of, the fur seal and sea-otter. Of the latter about 5,000 are tajken yearly. They are only found in the North Pacific islands. Tbe "best skins are valued at from one hundred to five hundred dollars, and are especially affected by the wealthy Chinese. The Russian sable—though why ao named ia an enigma, the choicest specimens com­ing from Kamtchatka—is extremely fashionable throughout the world, the fur being valued for its great beauty, and being unique frorti the fact that the hairs turn and lie equally well in any position. The animal is related to the weasel, pine and stone martens, mink, etc, but exceeds them all in the beauty and l*ug& of the over-hair; that is long, flowing and of a rich bluish dark shade, wearing extremely well, the pelt being tough and durable. Nearly 100,000 are aught yearly at ill points, bringing from $50 to $150 *a skin, and the lady who would wear a perfect set of furs' from it must $>y nearly $8,000.

The American marten—from Labra­dor and Great Vfhale river—is much in demand. Artists' brushes are made from the hairs of the tail, and for this and other purposes over1 180,000 are captured yearly, valued at $85 per skin for the best. Of pine martens 200,000 are used.* It is a rich brown, being often passed off by dishonest dealers as Russian sable. In this country, the better class of mink retains its popular­ity, the dark chestnut browns and

'blacks being rich and elegant in tbe extreme and often passed off upon the innocent purchaser as Russian sable. The dark blue lustrous shades are most pdmired and come from Maine, Nova Scotia, the Middle and Northwestern States. The trappers realize, or should, from $5 to $85 per skin for the 850,000 aninlals killed yearly. « i

Ermine skins are now rated kt about $150 apiece, and the coat of Louis IX, was probably worth at the time $8,500. One of the most fashionable tfirs is that of the silver fox. It is a riih, deep, glossy black with a bluish tinge. ,8o beautiful are they that $500 has been give for a single skin, and Lwf Houtan states that in his time the skill of one of these foxes brought its weight in gold. Skins frequently brit}g $850. Of the 8,000 caught yearly, about 1,000 are used in England, and they are oc­casionally seen upon the streets of New York. - jj

Cfieap grades of furs ore made from the Siberian squirrel, muskrats, rabbits, wildcats, badger, coon and even the common domestic cat of which 1,000,-000 and over are killed yearly; yet the attentive Observer about New York is often reminded and forced to observe that tbe aupply exceeds the demand. Other animals used in trimming, etc, are lions, tigers and bears. Of tbe former 500 are consumed by the trade every year, while 80,000 bears, 500 tigers, 100,000 buffalo, 100,000 chin-cillas and 6,000,000 squirrels have been and are used yearly in various branch­es of the trade. *

What Stawtwj Has Done la Africa,

Edward King write* to the Boston Journal from Paris under date of September 89; Mr. Stanley arrived in Paris much improved in health after his journey of nearly forty days from 8t Paul de Lowndo, and he-leaves this afternoon for Brussels, where he will males a report upon his mission Ond his labors is% Africa during the last three years and a half to the secretary general of the mlernational African colonisation association. This body was formed at the instance of the en­terprising king of the Belgians, shortly after the clows of tbe Paris exhibition in 1878, and the first act of thw king after assuming the presidency otthe woctety waa to wand for the young ex­plorer and to ask him if he would put hia experience and energy into the la­bor of establishing stations along the tracks on the "Dark G*otiiient" where settlements were most available and likely to bring forth good fruit for civilization. After due reflection Stanley concluded to aocwpt the kind oflV, which waa eminently flattering in its character, and hw understood from the first as every'one else con­nected with the association under­stood, that the object of the work was not ao much immediate commercial gain as the civilising and education of thw savage at semi-wavagw popula­tions. The oompwny did not raise the flag of any particular' nation, but adoJJled a banner of its own, under whkh all Mr. Stanley's inarches have been made and all his efforts have been undertaken. In connection with the oentrkl and parent society at Brussels, it was arranged that national commit-tees should be at liberty to do aw much aw they saw fit and contributions in money and equipment were made to tbe mam expidition by varidus geo­graphical and other learned societies. Mr. 8tanley had told the association that the Congo river was the mom avenw of entrance to central Africa, and that so soon as, the difficulties of getting around the great cataracts were sur­mounted, and steamers wferw set afloat on the upper Congo, the results for, bo|h civilisation and commerce would be colossal. The young explorer, there­fore, left for Africa for the third time in January, 1879, and kinoe tfiat time has been faithfully occupied in build ing roads around thw falls, in organic ing etationii,eacb bne of which is solid­ly fortified, supplied with rough but comfortable dwellings, kept stocked with provisions and clothes from Europe. Guns and ammunition do set form any very considerable part of the outfit, for Mr. Stanley's boost ia that one caiv go anywhere in tit* country which he has settled, up armed with nothing mote formidable than a cane. The natives look upon him as a kind of demigqdt for they have dis­covered that civilization, to which they at first felt such a dislike, means get­ting more f<<od to ea(, and getting- it easier than in,the,old times. Last evening the explorer gave me a pictur­esque description of a banquet which he gave some time ago to the 500 blacks and twenty-eight whites, direct­ly or indirectly interested in the colo­nisation scheme. The natives had never seen a baronial festival before; Stanley had purposely determined to give them a Gargantuan spread which they should remember to the end of their lives. There were quarters of beef, aoasted whole; vast wooden tubs filled with rice; butter and cheese from Europe; milk from the cows, which ara kept at each of the stations; game, in stacks; in pyramids, and fruit \t\ colossal heaps. The men were amased, and sat until the order to begin eating was given, with their fingers on their lips, in a dase of rapturous mood. When tbey had the signal to "fall**/1

those nearest the precious food plunged madly at it, l>ut speedily found the men in the second rank crawling be­tween their legs or leaping over their backs. But there waa no quarreling; every one had* enough, and all went away with highly. increased impres­sions in fator of the white men. . j

"We have done wonders since I last wrote you," said Mr. Stanleyt. "and our greatest accomplishment is thw building and roofing of a fbng, hand* soma, well-arranged, two-story house. The second story is looked upon by the primitive populations in the neigh boring villages as something mysterio s and Diagical—wimowt as*a proof of di­vinity. I have* been living in a tent for about two years, and have found it usually* very comfortable, but ww wish to get Solid buildings put up as rapidly as powribl*. Well," be added, "the rowd it) built and is as nearly per­fect ws su^t a thing in sucb a uew country can be. The stations are es­tablished, and no one of them is in tbe slightest danger of being assailed. I have done my part to the beat of my ability and Tny conscience is clean, and now I turn to the association and say to i t 'What will you do nwxtf " f
